The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.

I think he's fully delegitimized among those who know his name. The problem is that he's not gonna stop posting literal made-up bullshit and new people will upvote and uncritically consume it because he uses headlines like "Why Anti-Imperialism is Good". While I will bully him at every sighting, I can't commit to being online as much as him.

As long as it's confined to the infighting comm I don't think it's a problem. But he's clearly strategic about where and when to post each article to trick the most people into reading.

I don't think my proposal is unreasonable. This site is not a big tent, there's already a separate site for that.

"Why Anti-Imperialism Is Good"

seems like the left version of "Why Protecting Children Is Good" to defend an anti trans law

Shame IMO the same dishonest rhetorical tactics can be found on both sides.
